    Abstract:
    Acute DIC is a rare, but life-threatening complication of metastatic prostate cancer. The authors discuss the treatment modalities in the light of three cases and a review of the recent literature. The key to treatment of DIC is treatment anti of the tumour. Androgen blockade is indicated in hormone-dependent tumours. This treatment can sometimes be completed by low-dose oral anticoagulants. Chemotherapy is the treatment of choice of acute DIC during the hormone resistance phase.
